Abstract
Electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulations are instrumental in providing researchers and engineers with detailed data about the dynamic behavior of power grids, necessary for analysis, planning, and risk mitigation. Such simulation studies become even more relevant with the increased number of inverter-based resources integrated into the grid. To achieve reliable simulation results, accurate and accessible models are needed, since existing generic models do not always provide accurate transient response, especially during fast transients. This paper proposes a model for the type-3 wind turbine generator, otherwise known as doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), that combines the benefits of the generic wind turbine model developed by the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC), with the extra accuracy of a detailed electrical model for the DFIG. WECC models are widely used by planners in their phasor-domain model databases. The proposed WECC-DFIG model is designed to be used in EMT-type software, and due its inheritance of the high-level control system, it can reuse control settings from an existing WECC model without re-tuning. It improves accuracy during transients, such as balanced and unbalanced faults.
期刊介绍:
Electric Power Systems Research is an international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy. The journal aims at presenting important results of work in this field, whether in the form of applied research, development of new procedures or components, orginal application of existing knowledge or new designapproaches. The scope of Electric Power Systems Research is broad, encompassing all aspects of electric power systems. The following list of topics is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to indicate topics that fall within the journal purview.
• Generation techniques ranging from advances in conventional electromechanical methods, through nuclear power generation, to renewable energy generation.
• Transmission, spanning the broad area from UHV (ac and dc) to network operation and protection, line routing and design.
• Substation work: equipment design, protection and control systems.
• Distribution techniques, equipment development, and smart grids.
• The utilization area from energy efficiency to distributed load levelling techniques.
• Systems studies including control techniques, planning, optimization methods, stability, security assessment and insulation coordination.
